ETOILE, SWEDEN, 87 p

A dinner here is a joyful ride through around twenty, innovative dishes. It’s surprising, stylish, and with high technique. It is not pretentious but slightly playful, a fact reinforced by the cheerful service. The food is a treat both in terms of flavor and texture, and the portions are well balanced. There is also, on top of a personal wine list, an ambitious non-alcoholic menu comprising several drinks that are elegantly mixed at the table. At Etoile, small, local producers are favored, and food waste is minimized by using whole ingredients.
